THE Chicago Inter Ocean hits the nail
squarely on the head when its says:
" As rule the very rich men are not
those who build up community and
create booms. A single business man,
full of life and snap and enterprise, who
is not afraid to talk and talks sense and
knows how to advertise is worth any
dozen very rich men, who usually only
take advantage of other peoples boom
ing to increase their values.

THE st. Paul Globe is losing the respect
of great many of its friends by the de-
sire it has recently shown to rank as the
sensational paper of the Northwest.
Every scandal it can obtain is given a
prominent position with headlines which
always exaggerate what follows. Its IL
Illustrations have been noticed on a num-
Der of occasions also to have rather
stretched the bounds OF decency. 1t Is
a depraved taste which demands that
style literature and if the Globe continues
to cater to such it may expectto lose the
patronage of people who are at all par
ticular as to the quality of reading mat
ter they introduce into their homes.
